Terms of Service

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a contract between you and FrostBtye Labs LLP, Marwari College, Kishanganj, Bihar 855117, India (“DevSummary”, “we”, “us”) covering your use of the DevSummary website and application (the “Service”). By creating an account, installing our GitHub App, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you are agreeing on behalf of a company, you confirm you have authority to bind it, and “you” means that company.

1. The Service

DevSummary connects to a GitHub organization, ingests commit activity, and uses AI to generate plain-English briefs for non-technical stakeholders. Briefs are scoped to a project, team, collaborator, or repository, generated on a schedule or on demand, and delivered by email and/or Slack.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 16 years old and legally able to enter a contract. You are responsible for the accuracy of your account information, for keeping your credentials secure, and for all activity under your account. Notify us at support@devsummary.com if you suspect unauthorized access.

Organization admins control the GitHub connection, member roles, schedules, and delivery targets for their organization. Admin actions bind the organization.

3. GitHub and Slack authorization

By installing the DevSummary GitHub App you authorize us to read repository metadata, collaborators, commits, and code diffs for the repositories you grant, and to receive webhook events for them. You confirm you have the right to grant that access. We do not write to your repositories.

By connecting Slack you authorize us to post briefs to the channel you select.

You may revoke either authorization at any time from GitHub or Slack. Revoking stops future ingestion or delivery but does not by itself delete previously stored data — see the Privacy Policy for deletion.

4. AI-generated output

Briefs, commit classifications, and summaries are produced by large language models. They are probabilistic and may be incomplete, imprecise, or wrong.

You are solely responsible for how you use them. Do not rely on a brief as the sole basis for a decision with legal, financial, employment, performance-review, or compliance consequences without independently verifying it against the underlying commits, which the Service links to for exactly that purpose.

We make no warranty that briefs are accurate, complete, or fit for any particular reporting or evaluation purpose.

5. Your content

You retain all rights to your repositories, commits, and other data you connect or submit (“Customer Data”). You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, copy, process, transmit, and display Customer Data solely to operate and support the Service for you — including sending commit content to our AI provider to generate briefs, and sending briefs to the recipients you configure.

We do not use Customer Data to train our own models, and our AI provider is engaged under terms that prohibit training on it.

You are responsible for having the rights and any required consents or notices to connect Customer Data, including where commit authors are located in jurisdictions requiring notice of such processing.

6. Acceptable use

You will not:

• connect repositories you are not authorized to access;
• use the Service to surveil individuals, or as the sole input to disciplinary or termination decisions;
• attempt to circumvent rate limits, quotas, org scoping, or access controls;
• reverse engineer, resell, or provide the Service to third parties except as a permitted user of your own organization;
• submit content that is unlawful, infringing, or malicious, or use the Service to send unsolicited bulk email;
• probe or load-test our systems without written permission (vulnerability reports to support@devsummary.com are always welcome);
• use the Service to build a competing product from our outputs.

We may suspend access to protect the Service, our users, or our providers, and will restore it once the issue is resolved.

7. Beta, plans, and fees

Parts of the Service may be labeled beta, preview, or waitlist. Beta features are provided as-is, may change or be withdrawn, and are excluded from any service commitment.

Paid plans, if applicable to you, are billed in advance for the term shown at checkout. Fees are non-refundable except where required by law. Taxes are your responsibility. We may change pricing with at least 30 days’ notice effective at your next renewal. Usage-based limits (repositories, briefs, or AI tokens) may apply and are described in the application.

8. Third-party services

The Service depends on GitHub, Slack, OpenAI, email delivery, and hosting providers. Their availability, terms, and rate limits are outside our control, and an outage or change on their side may degrade or interrupt the Service. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms.

9. Our intellectual property

We own the Service, including its software, design, and documentation, and all associated intellectual property. These Terms grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the Service during your term. All rights not expressly granted are reserved. Feedback you send us may be used freely without obligation to you.

Briefs generated for your organization are yours to use, share, and publish.

10. Confidentiality

Each party will protect the other’s non-public information with reasonable care and use it only to perform under these Terms. This does not apply to information that is public, independently developed, or lawfully received from a third party, or where disclosure is legally compelled.

11. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR THAT OUTPUT WILL BE ACCURATE. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

12. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NEITHER PARTY IS LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, REVENUE, GOODWILL, OR DATA.

OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) THE FEES YOU PAID US IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) USD 100.

These limits do not apply to either party’s liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct, or to your payment obligations.

13. Indemnity

You will defend and indemnify us against third-party claims arising from your Customer Data, your use of the Service in breach of these Terms, or your lack of authority to connect a repository or organization.

14. Term and termination

These Terms apply while you use the Service. You may stop and delete your account at any time. We may terminate or suspend your access for material breach (with a reasonable chance to cure where practical), for non-payment, or if we discontinue the Service — in which case we will give reasonable notice and prorate prepaid fees for the unused term.

On termination, your license to use the Service ends and we delete Customer Data as described in the Privacy Policy. Export your briefs before you terminate if you need them.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms. We will change the “last updated” date and, for material changes, give notice by email or in the application at least 14 days before they take effect. Continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the updated Terms.

16. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, excluding its conflict of law rules and the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. The courts at Kishanganj, Bihar, India have exclusive jurisdiction, except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any competent court to protect its intellectual property or confidential information. Nothing here removes any mandatory consumer protection right you have where you live.

17. General

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between us on this subject. If a provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in force. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Neither party is liable for delays caused by events beyond its reasonable control. There are no third-party beneficiaries.
